Description: In provocative essays exploring the themes of identity, power, and change, thirty-three black woman academics and administrators from around the country discuss their experiences of life in America's institutions of higher education.

Often inspiring, these accounts serve collectively both as a handbook for today's black female academics, administrators, graduate students, and junior faculty and as a call to the nation's academies to respond to the voice of black women. It is also a fascinating insiders' guide to what is going on in the halls of higher learning today.
